Pneumatic tire is provided with a belt layer including a first belt ply of which width is more than 0.9 times and less than 0.95 times the tread width and a second belt ply of which width is more than 0.88 times and less than 0.92 times the tread width, that are arranged in sequence from a carcass side.One of the belt plies is composed of two belt ply parts which are separated by a gap on the tire's equator. The other belt ply is composed of a middle belt ply part and two side-belt ply parts which are separated by a gap at two division points each spaced apart from the equator in the axial direction by a distance of 0.2 to 0.3 times the other belt ply width.Initial elasticity EA of the middle belt ply part is preferably larger than the initial elasticity EB of the other belt ply parts, especially, the ratio EA/EB is more preferably 2.0 or more and 4.0 or less.The gaps are preferably 0.5 mm to 4.0 mm.
